Content Repurposing Motivation with Example

​Content Repurposing Motivation with Example

Whenever I make a piece of content, I immediately distribute it further and often quickly repurpose into something else. OR I delegate the responsibility to someone else, so I don't forget.

Let me show you what I mean by example...

  1. ​I had a customer who wanted help with something. I said okay, let's talk on a Facebook Live, so my members can benefit too.
  2. The live video takes place in our Facebook Group, so my members can watch me wrestle with technology again haha...and can benefit from the chat as well. If you're going to watch it, start at the 4:57 mark to skip the fluff. 
  3. ​We cut the technology wrestling part out and posted it to YouTube.
  4. ​That YouTube video is also being added to our Insider's Club members area.
  5. I made a quick clip from the video that I thought had a pretty important point. I added some text to the video to grab some attention and posted it to Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. You can see a screenshot below and the Instagram post directly right here.

And bonus tip: In the Instagram post, I tagged my personal account and set the location of the post as my business, so the content is shown on my profile and for my business name. 

There's potential for several other clips as well, but I think that's good for one day. I'll just take some notes on the other clips and hire someone to do the rest if I decide to move forward.

​It's THAT simple. A customer asks for help and I've got TONS of content.

But there are so many opportunities to repurpose content in your day. Here are just a few:

  • Break up a report into articles or snippets. Add them to your blog and social media.
  • Use your social media quotes graphics in your newsletters, books and relevant blog posts.
  • Bundle up articles into reports or create an autoresponder series.
  • Find quotes from articles and reports that you can turn into graphics.
  • Publish all your content across a variety of platforms and remember to leverage fully and share those links frequently. 

Now if you want some content to get the repurposing process rolling, we've got it...

​Boost Your Marketing with These Three Simple Daily Tasks

Boost Your Marketing  with These Three Simple Daily Tasks...Includes Practical Ideas

A lot of people think growing your online business has to be hard, complicated or too much work. 

But it's not. You can even do it in less than an hour a day. So even if you have a job, family to attend to or other priorities, you can still build your audience, get more sales and connect with your audience every single day. 

It's really simple actually and can be boiled down to three simple tasks. Focus on these and do just one thing each day in each group and reap the rewards. 

1. Do one thing to grow your audience.
2. Do one thing to get more sales.
3. Do one thing to connect to your audience on a personal level.

And if that sounds overwhelming...don't worry. I've got plenty of ideas for you below. 

1. Choose One Grow Your Audience Task:

  • Set up a new lead magnet
  • Get your affiliates to promote your lead magnet...offer pay per lead commissions or a superb backend where they’re sure to earn good $
  • Share your lead magnet on social media
  • Create an ad for your lead magnet (Facebook, Instagram, Google, etc.)
  • Create an ad to grow your social media following.
  • Start a Facebook Group...or LinkedIn or wherever you like hanging out
  • Make friends with someone else working in your niche today...these friendships turn into valuable partnerships
  • Interact with others with similar interests and wow them with your expertise, good looks and charm
  • Get booked for a podcast interview...or any type of interview that will boost your exposure
  • Interview someone
  • Run a webinar - get your affiliates to promote, partner with someone with an audience they can promote to, etc.
  • Publish more shareable content...errday

Your turn...what could you do to grow your audience today?

2. Choose One Sell More Products Task:

  • Send an email to your list.
  • Have an affiliate (or better yet, AFFILIATES) send email to their list.
  • Publish some highly informative content that leads to a logical conclusion that your reader should buy your product
  • Put an ad on social media, Google, etc.
  • Hold a free webinar, product info session
  • Give a limited time coupon or special offer
  • Set up a paid webinar/class/coaching program that you can take $ for now and create as you go.
  • Contact your existing and previous clients to see if they need help with anything
  • Bundle up some products to make a hard-to-resist package.
  • Offer a $1 or free trial for your membership to drum up those recurring sales

Need some money today? I don't think you have any excuses.

3. Choose One Connect with Your Audience Task:

  • ​Share a photo
  • Share a story
  • Ask them questions as a group
  • Give them a valuable, no strings-attached gift
  • Make them laugh
  • Make them cry
  • Make them angry (usually not at you, but depends on your strategy)
  • Give them encouragement
  • Make a video with your beautiful face
  • Do a live video and interact with them
  • Hold a webinar
  • Create a podcast
  • Share their stories (case studies, success stories, etc. that they submit to you)
  • Interview them
  • Do an AMA (ask me anything)
  • Show your vulnerable side (mistakes, share your fears...but show them how you're coming out ahead)

​Easy peasy right? The more your audience sees you as a real person they can relate to, the more they're going to come to you for advice, services and products. So get on it!

The Incredible Power of Emotions in Your Content Marketing

How to Leverage the Incredible Power of Emotions in Your Content Marketing

If your content isn't getting the traction you want, always remember to tap into your audience's emotions.

Make them laugh.

Make them cry.

Make them mad (but in most cases, make sure you stay the good guy).

Inspire them to do something great, right then and then. 

Make them FEEL something.

So even if you publish a lot of how to stuff, think of how you can add emotion. Share stories, add quotations, make jokes, use photos...do what you need to in order to make them FEEL.

Implementation: New and Existing Content

Moving forward, always keep in mind how you can use emotions in your content. This is particularly effective in your emails, social media posts and blog posts. It can be something as simple as adding a quotation or story...or even a photograph that conveys an emotion. 

But also review your past content as this is a great way to repurpose and breath new life into old content. Once you've updated it, share it again with your subscribers, followers, etc.

Free 10-Pack of Journaling Articles

You can edit, brand and monetize these articles as you wish. I'd recommend adding a mixture of the following to evoke emotion:

  • Quotes to inspire your readers to use journaling in a meaningful way. Use captions for any quotes images you post to give them another way to look at the quote, share a story that epitomizes it or anything that will inspire them further.
  • Stories about your own journaling experience...or of your customers...and how it brought about profound change in your life. Do a quick interview, show snapshots of your own journal or just talk about it. It all helps. 
  • Anything that shows that journaling is a path to healing deep wounds. It can make bring us clarity, help us work through difficult situations and even brings us pure happiness and joy. 

We've already done the work, you just add a little emotion and publish!

How to Repurpose Articles into Highly Engaging Social Media Content

How to Repurpose Articles into Highly Engaging Social Media Content

As you may have noticed, it's harder to get engagement on posts that are links on Facebook. Unless you pay to boost it, of course. Grrr...Facebook.

You also can't post links on Instagram.

Twitter seems to be okay with links and that's a good thing because the limited text space makes it hard to fully implement what I'm suggesting.

Anyway, we've been creating social media content from our articles with some nice results and you can see some examples at the bottom of this post.

1. Make an image that is reflective of the article and also includes some text that draws the eye in and gives the viewer an idea there is more to read.

2. Instead of linking to the article, add the edited article text to your post. I usually add a more friendly first line that grabs attention before leading into the article.

3. You can do this with any article, but anything with stories (think your success stories, case studies, even stories of trouble)...is more likely share worthy, so this will give your your content more traction.

4. For Facebook, I may add the link to the article in the comment if there's more info on the page or a video to watch, etc. On Instagram, I do create a short link that has just one word in the URL so people can type it in if they want. And they do, because I'm tracking the clicks. So a link like my domain. com/story for example.

Of course, mix it up and sometimes post the link and sometimes do it this way...but it's a great opportunity to get the article seen again and to get it shared more readily.

Here are a couple recent images I've made for this purpose. They are NOT pretty, I know...but I think they catch the eye. If your image is more aesthetic, then by all means, design something pretty. Just make sure it includes the text to get attention. Oh and of course, I'd also text without an image on Facebook because you never know what they'll respond to.

It's an easy way to keep that content you've already worked hard on (or paid good money for!) working for you.

How to Use Inspirational Quotes and Tips Graphics to Grow Your Business

How to Use Inspirational Quotes and Tips Graphics to Grow Your Business

As you probably know, many of our done-for-you content packages include handy social media graphics with inspirational quotes and tips. Here are a few as an example…

But what can you do with these quotes graphics and how can you use them to grow your business? Here are a few ideas for you.

Start by branding them with your logo or URL

If you're using a URL to a specific offer or page, make sure to make it as short a link as possible. BUT don't use bit.ly or anything like that. Shorten the link on your own domain. If your domain is long, consider a catchy short domain that your followers will recognize as yours.

Post and schedule them to social media

You can use a scheduling tool like Hootsuite or Buffer...and reshare the images every month or so. Hootsuite has a bulk scheduling tool to make this easy. Include a relevant description with your image that inspires them to get a free and opt-in or something you think they can't wait to take action on.

Add the images to all kinds of content

Images catch the eye and the thought-provoking quotes, make your audience think. Add them to your blog posts, reports, membership site and more.

Create a blog post, podcast or video around the quote

If there's a quote that particularly resonates with you, there's fodder for a great piece of content for your audience.

Make a video out of the images

Put together some of your favorites, include music and maybe even a bit of commentary. Here’s a quick video to show you how to easily create this type of video.

BONUS TRAFFIC TIP

Use hashtags and tag the person (where applicable) who the quote is from. This can be a decent traffic boost, particularly on networks where hashtags matter like Instagram and Twitter.

Rock Solid Ideas for Publishing Private Label Rights Articles

Rock Solid Ideas for Publishing
Private Label Rights Articles

Articles with private label rights are a great time saver, but if you’re going to buy them, it’s best to have a plan to use them to their maximum benefit. You need to have a traffic plan AND a monetization plan, so they grow your business.

This article includes ideas for all of that. Let’s get started with those ideas...

Add the articles to your blog.

You can do this manually or bulk upload text files to WordPress with a number of tools, including Speedy APLC Publisher.

Get automated traffic to your articles.

Make sure add links to these articles in your autoresponder and your social media (you can schedule those using tools like Hootsuite or Buffer), so you have a continuous stream of traffic. Optimize the articles using a plugin like Yoast SEO to optimize your articles for search engine traffic. There's no point in posting these articles if they're not going to be seen.

Monetize those articles.

You can do it the easy way by inserting Google AdSense code. My favorite is make recommendations for your products or those you promote as an affiliate. I always end my articles with nice big subtitle:

"What To Do Next: (Example..."Get the Templates to Make This Super Simple")

...and then I end with a paragraph and a link that explains the offer. Content is a GREAT product seller. Use it to your advantage.

Add the articles to Facebook's Instant Articles.

LinkedIn also makes it easy to post articles. In this case, instead of promoting a product, I'd more likely send them to a link to grab a freebie, so I can put them on my mailing list and stay in touch with them via email. Plus, a free offer is a much easier sell through social media.

Bundle up the articles into reports.

Put a bunch of articles on the same topic into a report and use them for an opt-in, add them to your membership area and more. Use the same strategy for monetization with the "What To Do Next" technique.

You can have one main product recommendation for the report and in that case, place the recommendation in the introduction and conclusion of your report...or you can put recommendations at the end of each article.

Make audio recordings of the articles.

Put the audio version on your article page. Turn them into mini podcasts and more. You can also include product promos in your audios.

Turn the audio recordings into videos.

Just grab the audio, make some slides and you're good to go. Or record them as talking head video or have someone record you while you're walking to create some visual interest.

Again, product promos can go here. It's best if it's a recommendation for you as people are more likely to take action, but you can also pre-record a series of commercials that you insert in your videos as you make them.

Just a few ideas to use these articles to the fullest. Now you don't have to do everything at once, but as you can see, there are pretty much endless options for you to keep monetizing and growing traffic. And hey, remember, this is perfect work for a virtual assistant to do for you.

What to Do Next: Practice with a Free 10-Pack of Articles

Put what you learned into practice with a free 10-pack of articles on the topic of journaling. You get 10 quality articles, complete with private label rights that you can brand monetize and publish as your own.

Work SMARTER, Not HARDER

How to Work SMARTER, Not HARDER

Just a quick reminder to work SMARTER and not HARDER and of course, some thoughts on how to do that.

To me, success is not simply having a financially profitable business. It’s about being happy. It’s about having the freedom to do what you want.

Work hard for sure. There will be long hours. No doubt about it.

But if your goal is to be happy and financially successful too, let me give you a few pointers:

Stop working for working’s sake.

Just because you *think* you need to have an active blog, Facebook Page, Instagram account and YouTube channel...doesn’t mean you actually do. Focus on what you can do well and gosh darn it, do it well.

Test, track and drop what doesn’t work.

I can’t believe how many people I see doing the same things over and over again, without actually knowing if they work.

Get help.

Trying to do everything yourself leaves you as an employee for your company and keeps you from realizing your potential as CEO. I don’t care what your budget is, you need to start investing your profits and growing your team to handle the daily tasks, so you can focus on the big picture and building your rock solid profitable business.

Stay focused and stop chasing.

And not just focused on your work. Stay focused in the scope of your business. When you first start out, it's so tempting to try everything and dabble with every marketing method, niche or any shiny object that catches your eye. The more focused you stay, the faster you'll get real results you can build on.

Do those 4 things and work at them consistently and you'll see big changes.

Why and How to Make Your PDFs Interactive

Why and How to Make Your PDFs Interactive

Have you ever noticed that if you include a printable, a worksheet or some type of interactive content for your customers or to get people on your list, they just eat it right up? They readily opt-in for your freebies AND they're willing to pay more for your products and training.

People LOVE interactive content and there are a few reasons for that:

  • Your product or freebie has a much higher perceived value. If they can print something out or interact with it in some way, it's more tangible than something they read.
  • You're giving them a chance to APPLY what they learn. So similar to the first point, it's not just reading. It's DOING.
  • Your product or freebie stands out from the crowd. There is no shortage of reports and ebooks that claim to solve a problem for your audience...but when you add interactivity, you have a chance to differentiate yourself.

And there are benefits for you too:

  • You can charge more for your products because they have a higher perceived value.
  • You have a better student success rate because they're applying what they learn. And when your students are happy, they're going to talk about you and bring you more business.
  • If you are a book author and don't want Amazon to have your customer info all to themselves, you can offer some interactive content they can opt-in to receive. Just mention it and include a link in your book, so they can get your interactive content and you grow your subscriber list.

Some ways to add interactivity with documents:

  • Worksheets
  • Checklists
  • Planners
  • Journals

And it's super easy to create these types of printable documents. But what if you want to make the document itself interactive WITHOUT printing?
